The press box at QVC Marine Field isn't exactly state-of-the-art. Upfront are three sections of long desks topped with aging, faded wood looking out onto the field from ground level, behind a net and tinted glass. The rear resembles a school cafeteria, with an old television resting on a filing cabinet and another mounted on the ceiling.

Few would confuse it with the facilities in the 30 MLB ballparks.

Still, there was a definite MLB vibe in the air at the windswept stadium on Wednesday.
